Firstly, you need to combine like terms within that side of the equation.
Take -3x +9x and you’ll get 6x.
Next, combine like terms on the other side of the equation.
Take -5-1 and you’ll get -6
So far you should have:
6x+2=4x-6
Subtract 4x on each side!! Cancel 4x-4x! Solve 6x-4x!
Now you’ll get:
2x+2=-6
Subtract 2 on each side!!
Cancel out 2-2 and solve -6-2.
You should get:
2x=-8
Lastly, divide 2 on each side.
Cancel out 2/2 and solve 8/2.
Your final answer should be:
X = -4
